The Passing Off mind map template, created by Ruslan Nurullaev for the LLB (UoL) Intellectual Property module, covers over 300 nodes across six major branches: Characteristics, Requirements, Defences, Examples, Foreign C and well-known TM, and Future of passing off. This comprehensive cheat sheet explores the flexible and theory-lacking nature of passing off, which protects unregistered trademarks and is often pleaded alongside trademark infringement, as seen in cases like Easy Jet v British Airways. Key nodes include 'Reckitt v Borden' outlining the three-part test (goodwill, misrepresentation, damage), and 'Advocaat - Ld Diplock' listing five elements for a claim. The template also delves into classical and extended passing off, defences such as 'no common field of activity', and the impact of the 1994 Trade Marks Act on celebrity endorsement. This mind map serves as an essential study aid for law students and practitioners navigating the complexities of passing off law.
